Smith out for rest of campaign
The following news emerged from tonight's Hereford United Liaison Meeting:
- Ben Smith will miss the rest of the season as he needs an operation to pin his shoulder, but Jamie Pitman is set to return on Saturday after fears of a required hernia operation were unfounded. He does, though, have a torn abductor muscle, and was rested at Gravesend in the hope that a ten-day break will ease the problem.
- Ryan Green, though, still has a hip injury and is likely to miss the home game against Woking. He trained today, but did not compete in the regular schedule.
- The loan spells of Anwar Uddin and Chris Palmer have ended, but Graham Turner hopes to bring in new players.
- Chester City are likely to be given 2,000 tickets for the last day of the season, and they will be on sale within the next couple of weeks. Shrewsbury Town will receive 2,800 tickets for the match at Edgar Street on March 27th, after liaison with the police.
- Forest Green Rovers will play at Edgar Street on Tuesday, 16th March, in the final of Herefordshire Senior Cup.
- Hereford United have now received £5,000 from Sky TV for the televising of the Exeter City match on Boxing Day.
